Passive Puppy house training.

March 14th, 2010

Getting your dog house-trained does not happen in 24 hours.Training is often completed only after your pet has gotten older by a few months.Pups spend some time getting used to being up and about on their own.They can’t hold it as long as olders dogs can but their bowel or bladder control improves as they grow older.

It’s impossible to monitor your puppy’s activities all day and all night but you need to make sure house-training continues even when you’re not there, therefore, you need to learn to do it the passive way.

While You Were Gone.

Paper training is the most feasible way to ensure continued house-training without your constant monitoring.Here are useful pieces of information to help you do it:

Pick a room in the house where you can deposit your pup when you’d be gone for hours.When you’re going out for a few hours, lock your pup in the room.Put a carpet of papers on to the floor covering the entire floor area.Make sure he has everything he needs with him in the room – food, toys, bed, water.

Initially, you’ll be cleaning after your pet a lot as he will soil the entire room.Be patient. Clean up and lay new sheets when you arrive.After some time, your pet will eliminate only at a self-designated spot on the papered floor.When you can clearly see which area your pet prefers, start removing some of the papers.

Here is another educational article Stop Dog Whining.

Begin removing the pieces of paper opposite your dog’s preferred poop place.Move slowly toward the obvious poop area, taking away an inch of papering as you proceed.After a time, a few pieces of paper left on the room floor will do.When at some point your dog does his business outside of the papered area, that’s a signal you’ve moved too fast.Move back to laying more paper, recovering a larger space on the floor.When your pet’s showing dependable pooping on one or two sheets you put on the floor, start working on moving it to your desired spot.

Inch the paper daily toward the spot in the room where you’d like the dog to poop on.Push it forward a little every day, similar to when you were reducing the sheets of paper on the floor.If your pet does his busiiness outside the papering again, it means you’re pushing it too much; bring it back to where he reliably pooped on it last.Restart the exercise until you get the paper to where you want it and your pup can be relied on to do his business only where he’s supposed to.

Some problems are to be Expected.

When doing passive house training, you must persevere.If your pup appears to be going back to old habits, don’t worry too much.Go back to laying sheets of paper on a wider area.
